At the recent AMPP 2022 Corrosion Conference and Exhibition, the first in-person event since the merger of NACE and SSPC, an event was held to celebrate our industry’s next generation of talented leaders.
On the evening of the EMERGing Leaders party, a number of different categories were presented during a ceremony at the historic Aztec Theatre near the San Antonio Riverwalk, to recognise the hard work and achievements of the younger professionals of the industry. Among them, our ICorr Young Engineer Programme (YEP) 2020 cohort winners, who were recognised for their achievements and presented with their winners’ certificates, by Bill Hedges (ICorr President) and Bob Chalker (AMPP CEO).
The winning team, mentored by Tasos Kostrivas (Mott MacDonald), was Team 4, made up of Ryan Cobbs (Civil Engineer at Mott MacDonald), Izabela Gajewska (Corrosion Engineer at Intertek), Vincent Lemoine (Welding Engineer at Saipem), Praveena Nanthakumaran (Mechanical Engineer at Worley Parsons) and Harry Wright (Corrosion Engineer at Element). The YEP 2020 case study, was a real-life corrosion problem and this particular case was based on an onshore glycol desalination plant failure. The prize for the winning team was a fully expensed trip to the AMPP 2022 Corrosion Conference and Expo.
In addition to the prize for the winning team, the YEP panel and mentors selected 2 participants to join the AMPP Leadership course (also held at the AMPP 2022 conference) for their performance during the programme. The winners for were James McGladdery (National Nuclear Laboratory) and Benjamin Lee (SGN).
